A sway bar is a bar of spring steel
It is bad if cracked, broken or has notches or slots worn into it.
Sway bar noise usually comes from worn links or worn bushings, both a relatively easy thing to repair.

What noise does bad sway bar bushings make?
I just had this replaced today... I will be more then happy to explain this as best I can hoping you still check this. My front right sway bar bushing was bad making a weird noise only on rough roads, bumps or even if I push the car down on that side. It sounded like rattle mixed with a clunking noise on rough roads. Example...drive through a parking lot that has rough surfaces sewers drains...stuff like that. Depending which bushing is bad the sound will come to that direction.... A sway bar bushing is part of the suspension incase you were wondering. So it sounds like a mix of rattling and clunk. Not expensive to replace, was $72 but since he saw I had cash, he only charged me $60. Then again, I have a awesome mechanic. Hope this helps.

A sway bar is a torsion bar mounted laterally on a suspension and is designed to reduce side sway.

This is done through the connection of a torsion bar to each side of an axle by flexible links. (Sway bar links)
